## Resource

The horseshoe theory is back in play as Germany’s hard-left Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance teeters on the brink of national power—and may soon flirt with the far-right AfD. With the BSW hovering just below the 5% threshold to enter parliament, Wagenknecht is eyeing strategic alliances, especially in eastern states like Saxony-Anhalt where the AfD dominates polls. Though she’s publicly repulsed by the AfD’s extreme immigration stance, she’s floated the idea of governing with shifting majorities, potentially breaking the political firewall. The AfD, in turn, is open to any deal that secures stability. Analysts see this as a desperate bid for relevance for Wagenknecht, while mainstream leaders warn it could usher in dangerous, even pre-war-like, consequences.
